[Ding dong, Zhang Liao's skill 'raid' is activated. When he leads the army to prepare for a surprise attack or charge, the movement speed of the troops will increase, and the combat power will increase. The general's command will be 3, and the force will be 3. The current commander Xu Huang will increase to 100, and the force will increase to 103. 】
Among the four armies, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun both have commander skills. With the blessing of skills, Zhang Liao's command soared to 100 and Zhao Yun's command soared to 97.
Although Xu Huang has the commanding skill ‘Army Control’, it has nothing to do with cavalry and does not meet the triggering conditions, so it has not been activated.
As for Long Qie, he has not increased the skill of commander at all, but his commander attribute has reached 94 points, which is more than enough to command 20,000 cavalry.
In order to resist the Ming army, the camps and fortresses built by Han and Zhao had no more than a few hundred or even a thousand defenders, or at most two thousand defenders. How could they withstand the iron hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry?
The four cavalry armies, under the command of four famous generals, moved with lightning speed and swept away the border camps and fortresses before the reinforcements from South Korea and Zhao arrived at the meeting.
Since then, all the defense fortifications built by South Korea and Zhao, which cost a lot of manpower, material resources, and time, were destroyed by Zhang Liao at once.
After completing such a high-intensity mission, the Qin army naturally paid a heavy price, with a total of about 5,000 cavalry casualties.
Of course, South Korea and Zhao suffered even greater casualties, with a combined loss of nearly 20,000 soldiers.
The loss of troops was already heavy enough, but what was even more serious was that all the hard-built fortifications were destroyed. From now on, the Qin army's cavalry can already gallop freely on the land of Jizhou. This is undoubtedly a knife hanging over the head for those who have been trained by Han and Zhao.
.
As soon as the Qin army entered Jizhou, it launched a war against both countries at the same time, and hit the critical point with one blow, which made Yuan Shao and Han Xin passive.
However, the Yuan and Han families quickly reacted. When they learned that it was only the vanguard of the Qin army who was killed this time, and the main force of the Qin army was still on the way, Yuan Shao and Han Xin both made a tacit agreement.
The decision was made to concentrate our forces to destroy the invading cavalry.
Han Xin personally led an army of 80,000, while Yuan Shao sent Lian Po to lead an army of 150,000, preparing to take advantage of the Qin army's scattered forces to encircle and annihilate the Qin army's cavalry one by one.
"General Zhang Liao, now that the mission assigned by the Lord has been completed, once the main force of our army arrives, the initiative will be completely on our side, so there is no need to confront Yuan Shao head-on at this time." Guo Jia added with a smile.
[Ding dong, Guo Jia’s skill ‘Ghost’ effect 2 is activated. When serving as a strategist, the commander’s intelligence will be increased by 1~3 points. Zhang Liao’s intelligence will be 3, and the current intelligence will rise to 93.]
Zhang Liao nodded in agreement, and after appeasing the generals who were eager to fight, he ordered: "Retreat and join Zilong first."
Before Lian Po's encirclement was completed, Zhang Liao led his army to jump out of the encirclement. Lian Po was not willing to let Zhang Liao leave, so he immediately closed the encirclement and personally commanded the army to pursue him.
Faced with Lian Po's siege, Zhang Liao first recalled the troops to make peace, and his cavalry number reached nearly 60,000, but this time Lian Po did not dare to approach.
Lian Po's 150,000-strong army had 30,000 cavalry. Facing Zhang Liao, who only had 30,000 cavalry, he naturally dared to send cavalry to contain him first, and then the rear troops came to press and encircle him. He could counter Zhang Liao, who had 60,000 cavalry, and then sent three
If thousands of cavalrymen went to restrain him, it would be like a meat bun beating a dog and never coming back.
The Qin army's cavalry is well-trained and well-equipped. Thirty thousand Zhao cavalry may not be able to defeat 20,000 Qin cavalry, let alone 60,000.
Naturally, Lian Po was unwilling to take this risk, so he called back the cavalry.
Under Guo Jia's advice, Zhang Liao originally planned to rely on his superior strength to cripple Zhao's 30,000 cavalry. However, he did not expect that Lian Po was so alert. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately recalled the cavalry, stopped the pursuit and rebuilt the defense line.
, had no choice but to give up the plan and go round with the other two groups.
As for the situation on Long Qie and Xu Huang's side, the situation was not good. The two armies were originally preparing for a round, but due to Han Xin's calculations, they were separated and unable to unite.
Immediately afterwards, Han Xin took advantage of his military strength and prepared to defeat Long Qie first. He had even arranged everything, but at this moment Zhang Liao led 60,000 cavalry and killed him, using the most violent method to defeat him.
All of Han Xin’s schemes.
Han Xin only brought 80,000 troops, including only 15,000 cavalry. Now that all four Qin cavalry have arrived in Han, how can he be the opponent of 100,000 Qin cavalry with only the strength of his country?
Han Xin only had an army of 80,000 men and could not prevent the Qin army from joining forces. After the Qin army gathered together, it was no longer something that his 80,000 men could defeat, so he decisively ordered a retreat.
After Zhang Liao joined Long Qie and Xu Huang, he immediately prepared to pursue Han Xin when he saw Han Xin retreating, but Guo Jia persuaded him not to pursue, and asserted that Han Xin would definitely set up an ambush.
This statement made Zhang Liao wary, but after thinking about it again and again, he was still ready to chase after him. After all, he already knew about it and thought that as long as he was careful, he would avoid Han Xin's ambush.
Zhang Liao and Long Qie led 20,000 cavalry in pursuit. After defeating Han Xin's rear-cut troops, they pursued extremely cautiously and even burned a forest suitable for setting up an ambush. However, there was no ambush in the woods, but they were surrounded by a group of soldiers.
An ambush occurred in a place not suitable for setting up an ambush.
Zhang Liao was prepared against all odds, but he was still ambushed and was defeated by Han Xin, losing nearly 5,000 cavalry.
After Zhang Liao retreated, Guo Jia offered him a plan and asked him to lead the army in pursuit again.
"Military advisor, you've already lost to Han Xin once, and you're still here now?" Zhang Liao asked in confusion.
Guo Jia smiled mysteriously and said: "It is precisely because we have already pursued and been ambushed once, so Han Xin definitely did not expect that we would pursue again. This pursuit will definitely be successful."
[Ding dong, Guo Jia’s skill ‘Tian Jealousy’ is activated with effect 1, which reduces the intelligence of the enemy coach by 1 to 5 points, the intelligence of all enemy generals is -3, Han Xin’s intelligence is reduced by 3 points, and the current intelligence is reduced to 92.
[Ding dong, Guo Jia’s skill ‘Ghost’ effect 1 is activated. After this skill is activated, intelligence will be increased by 1 to 4 points. Guo Jia’s intelligence is 2. Guo Jia’s current intelligence has increased to 101. 】
Hearing what Guo Jia said, Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's chase him again."
At this time, the Qin army had reduced its strength by nearly 10,000, with 90,000 of the 100,000 cavalry remaining. Zhang Liao left 50,000 to defend Lian Po, while he personally led 40,000 cavalry to pursue him again.
After being defeated by Guo Jia, Han Xin also made the same mistake as Cao Cao. After the victory, he thought that Zhang Liao would not pursue him again, so he led his army straight to the strong city and retreated, but he did not want Zhang Liao to enter the city before he could do so.
